>>6052989>my rage induced rant is still rememberedI'll admit, I could've been a lot more concise with my points. I do believe the parts limit isn't really necessary, but the exclusion of kids from all the competitions still makes me sour. All Lego's time went into the AFOL community with G2 and it's contests and it just shows how inaffective they were at reeling in a younger audience. At least a contest on
Lego.com for kids 14 and under would've given youths a chance to be a part of G2. As is stood though, that shit just never happened and I feel like Lego really alienated Bionicle from the current generation by pandering solely to the former G1 fanboys throughout it's run.
And I still can't understand how guys like Eljay can just be so shallow when it comes to topics like this. "If you want to prove your worth, buy the parts." Bottom line, a casual or even fiscally limited fan should have some semblence of a chance in winning something. Not every contest, but at least ONCE there should be something in place for others to get involved. The minimum age for the Rebrick contest was what, 13? The chances a 13 year old had of winning were slim to none and it would've been nice if they could get something back from Lego. You know, a company making toys for kids just as much as they're making toys for collectors. A photography contest, a contest with a size limit, parts limit, age limit. Anything. But what do I know. According to his majesty I was just jealous and I don't understand. Art should not have restrictions! Yeah, well kids should have fun and have a chance to be a part of competitions for once.
